SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CUTTER CARE

Always switch off the power and unplug the router when
changing cutters or when making adjustments.

Do not drop cutters or knock them against hard objects.

Always wear protective goggles when routing.

Wear sound protective ear muffs when routing for long
periods of time.

Cutters should be kept clean. Resin build-up should be
removed at regular intervals with a wire brush. The use of
a dry lubricant will act as a preventative eg Trendicote
spray. Take care not to allow excessive quantities of
lubricant to come into contact with the Router Table.

Do not wear loose clothing. Make sure baggy sleeves are
rolled up and ties are removed.

Cutter shanks should be inserted into the collet at least 3/4
of shank length to prevent distortion. A distorted collet
should be discarded, as it can cause vibration and damage
the shank.

Do not overtighten collet as this will score the shank and
create a weakness there.

It is also advisable to periodically check the router collet
nut for wear.

Always remove spanners and allen keys from the table
surface before switching router on .

Keep hands well clear of the router cutter when routing.

Avoid accidental starting of the router. Make sure the
power switch is in the 'Off' position before plugging in and
connecting to the electrical supply. Fit the no-volt release
switch for ultimate safety.

Never leave the router unattended when running. Always
wait until the router comes to a complete stop before
making any adjustments.

USEFUL ADVICE

Do not switch the router on with the cutter touching the
workpiece.

Judge your feed rate by the sound of the motor.
In time, the operator will acquire a ‘feel’ for the router, and
a feed speed relative to the work will come naturally.
Too slow a feed will result in burning.

Do not take too deep a cut in one pass. Take light cuts
with many passes to maintain cutter speed and improve
finish.

Apply the normal precautions as with any electric power
tool.

The main abuse of routing machines is the inclination for
operators to overload them. The motto is 'Keep the revs
up'. The drop in revolutions should not exceed, if possible,
more than 20% of full running speed.

The motor of a router is susceptible to the accumulation of
sawdust and wood chips, and should be blown out, or
‘vacuumed’ , frequently to prevent interference with normal
motor ventilation.

Do not store the Router Table with router fitted on the
floor, as chips, panel pins or dirt could drop into the air
intake of the router.

10. Make a push stick and use it to move narrow workpieces
across the cutting area.

11. Mount the Router Table securely to a work bench or to a
workboard fitted to a suitable surface.

12. Check the function of the retractable safety guard before
each use, to ensure it rides easily over the workpiece.

13. Always use the back fence to guide the work. Do not work
freehand unless using bearing guided or pin guided
cutters.

14. Always feed the workpiece against the rotation of the cutter
15. Periodically check all nuts and bolts to make sure they are
tight and secure.

16. Use dust extraction equipment.

base. The fixing screws can then be used to secure.
The use of a gasket serves two purposes, firstly it
allows for secure fixing of the router, and secondly,
due to the small aperture in the router it allows the
tabs of the insert rings to fit tightly to the plate.
Enlarging the aperture in the base of the router is also
advised if large diameter tooling is to be used.

Identification of Mounting Holes and Screws

See previous page to:
1.

Identify which Insert Plate has been supplied with
your Router Table.

Identify the mounting holes and fixing screws
(including washers & nuts if applicable) which will be
required to suit your router.

(iii) For Bosch GOF900A and 1300ACE, three 3/4"x1/4"
packing washers are used on each screw to pack out
the base of the router from the underside of the insert
plate. These packing washers allow the tabs of the
inset rings to fit tightly in the plate.

Identify whether your router or the Insert Plate
requires re-drilling.

If at this point, you realise you have ordered the incorrect
model of Router Table for your router, an exchange of
the Insert Plate can be made direct with Trend, see
address on front cover. Ensure that the fixing pack, insert
rings and insert plate are returned. Please quote part
number of plate required in the exchange.
Additional Insert Plates can be purchased through your
nearest Trend stockist if you wish to fit other models of
router to your router table. See prevoius page for
selection, and spare parts diagram for price details.

Your Router should fall into one of the following
catagories:
(i) No adjustment necessary - Proceed to section H.
Please note for Elu OF97(E) see section (i) below.
For Bosch POF 52, 400A, 500A and 600ACE see
section D4 (ii) and for Bosch GOF900A and 1300ACE
see section D4 (iii).
(ii) Router base requires re-drilling - Proceed to section E
(iii) Insert Plate requires re-drilling - Proceed to section F

4.(i)For the Elu OF97(E) a 6.35mm (1/4") thick MDF or
plywood gasket is required. The central hole should
be drilled out to 60mm in diameter and with two
Bosch GOF900A & 1300ACE
further holes of 8mm diameter and at 115mm centres.
Please see page 34 for plan.
(ii) For the Bosch POF DIY range of DIY routers a
special gasket must be made in 3mm to 6mm thick
plywood or MDF made. Please see page 35 for plan.
This gasket is then placed between the underside of
the plate in the table and the underside of the router

Re-drilling of Router Base

Invert your router onto a suitable surface.

Place the Insert Plate facing upwards onto the base
of your router.

Identify holes A1 and A2, or holes B on the Insert
Plate.

Fit a large diameter cutter (max. 53mm diam.) into
your router and tighten collet.

Retract plunge mechanism and lock off allowing
cutter to protrude through the base.

Adjust position of the Insert Plate to centralise the
cutter within the centre hole of the Insert Plate.

Ensure that the threaded hole in the Insert Plate
faces the same side as on/off switch and fine height
adjuster (if fitted) so as these are easily accessible
when the router is fitted to the table.

Ensure that the holes you are about to drill in the
base do not interfere with any of the features on the

Packing

router or any webbings in the casting of the router
base. A slight turning of the plate may be required to
miss such obstructions.
(i)

Note
If you do not have the necessary equipment to carry out
operations 7 and 8, then a local engineering shop will be
able to carry them out accurately.

The base of the following routers must be drilled
with two 6mm diameter holes:
MOF96(E) Mk1
Black & Decker SR100
AEG OFS450S, OFS50, OFS720, OFSE850
Perles OF808, Stayer PR50
Kango R8550S, Holzher 2335, 2355
Virutex FR77C, 78C

Re-drilling both Insert Plate and Router Base

Invert the router and lay the insert plate onto the
upturned base, ensuring threaded insert hole is in
the correct position.

The base of the following routers must be drilled
with two 6mm diameter holes:

Metabo OF1028, OFE1228
Ryobi R500, R502

Clamp the insert plate and router base together
with two cramps.

Ensuring that the drill bit will not foul any
webbing or fixtures on the router base, drill
with a 6mm diameter drill bit into the insert plate
and through the router base two holes approximately 75mm apart.

Unclamp the router base and insert plate.

Countersink the insert plate holes with a countersink bit to a depth so the screw heads are slightly
below the top surface. Clean off any burrs created
on both the insert plate and router base.

Please see page 33 for plan. Holes B on the plate
will be used.
(ii)

Countersink the hole with a countersink bit to a
depth so the heads of the screws are slightly below
the top surface. Clean off any burrs created.

Holes A1 on the plate will be used.
9.

Mark the centre of the holes onto the base.

10.

Remove plate and mark the centre of the holes with
a centre punch.

11.

Drill a hole at these points with a 6mm diameter
drill bit.

12.

Clean up edges of holes if required.

Re-drilling of Insert Plate

Remove or photocopy the plan from the appendix of
this manual.

Invert the router and lay the plan onto the base.

Identify the appropriate holes on the plan to fit your
model of router.

Line up the plan with the holes on the router and
check the accuracy of their positions.

Draw cross lines on the insert plate with a pencil.
These cross lines bi-secting the plate on both sides.

Cut around the plan of the router base so that the
cross lines drawn on the paper plan are dissected.

Line up the lines on the insert plate and the lines on
the paper plan, ensuring that the threaded insert
hole match. Stick the paper plan onto the insert
plate.

Using a centre punch, mark centres of holes.

Drill the required hole size with a suitable metal drill
bit . Best results will be obtained if your power drill is
mounted in a drill stand.

Selecting & Fitting Insert Plate Rings

The Insert Plate Rings are designed to support the
workpiece around the cutter to avoid small timber
sections tipping or flexing when being machined.
1.

First separate all Insert Plate Rings from each
other using a sharp knife and trim off all flashes,
see fig. J.1.

Selecting the correct size of Ring
2.

Select an Insert Plate Ring with an inside diameter
approximately 1/4" (6mm) larger than the maximum
diameter of the cutter to be used. This will give 1/8"
(3mm) gap around the cutter to allow the chips to
clear.

An Insert Plate Ring is not required for cutters
having a diameter of 1 3/4" (45mm) or larger, as the
Insert Plate will provide enough support for the
workpiece.

Trim flash
here

Do not use router cutters having diameters larger
than 50mm (2"). Always ensure the aperture on the
base of your router will allow the cutter to protrude
through it without touching it.

Fitting Insert Plate Rings

Fig. J.1

The Insert Plate Rings are designed to be snapped into
the Insert Plate. Slide the large tab under the edge of
the Aperture Hole in the Insert Plate as shown in
fig. J.2.
5.

Using you thumb, press down on the Insert Plate
Ring until the small tab snaps into position. Ensure
the Insert Plate Ring is fully seated into the
Aperture Hole.

To remove the Insert Plate Ring, release the small
tab from the edge of the Aperture Hole and pull the
Ring out.

Fitting Lead-on Pin

The Lead-on Pin is a safety feature for profiling straight
or shaped workpieces with a bearing guided cutter
without using a back fence. It will prevent the cutter from
snatching the workpiece, especially when using larger
cutters or when making heavier cuts. The use of the
optional accessory Profiling Top Guard is highly
recommended to safely carry out this type of routing
operation. See section Y for more information.

Attachment of Back Fence to Table

The Back Fence is provided as a guide against which
the workpiece should be held for accurate routing.
Freehand routing (not holding work against the fence)
should be avoided unless the cutter has a bearing guide
or pin. Then, the Lead-on Pin should be fitted to prevent
the cutter from snatching the workpiece.
When attaching the Back fence to the Table Surface,
care should be taken not to knock the protruding cutter, if
it has already been fitted.
Two round holes on the right side of the Table Surface
and one long slot on the left hand side of the Table
Surface are provided for attaching the Back Fence.

Fig. P.1

For all edge cutting and end cutting operations, attach
fence using the front hole and the slot. This will allow
adequate adjustment of the Back Fence to suit the cutter
diameter and depth of cut. See fig. P.2.
For all routing operations away from edge on the under
side of workpiece, such as grooving, fluting, veining,
attach the Back Fence using the back hole and the slot.
See fig. P.3.
Dust extraction should be used with the Back Fence at
all times to prevent clogging of wood waste, see page 18.

Assembly of Spring Pressure Clamps

The Optional Spring Pressure Clamps can be mounted
to the Back Fence. When adjusted to suit the width and
thickness of the material, it ensures the material is held
down onto the surface to obtain accurate machining of
the workpiece.
The Back Fence is pre-drilled to accept both Spring
Pressure Clamps.
1.

Remove Back Fence from Table Surface

Insert Vertical Pillar Bolt through the underside of
the Back Fence.

Fit washer and screw on the Vertical Pillar. Tighten
screw securely to ensure pillar is vertical.

Fit knobs to Connector Block and slide it onto
Vertical Pillar.

Slide Horizontal Bar through Connector Block.

flat of the Vertical Pillar.
Adjustment
The Spring Pressure Clamps will require adjusting to
suit the height and width of material being routed. The
Pressure Strips should provide enough pressure to
prevent the material lifting from the Table Surface, but
not too much as to create friction which would prevent the
material from sliding freely. The block assembly with
Horizontal Bar and Pressure Strip can be removed
from the Vertical Pillars when not required. The Vertical
Pillars can be left in position and will not impede the

W. Using Router Table for Grooving
The router table can be used for operations away from
the edge of the workpiece such as grooving,
fluting, veining, etc.
Always unplug the router before making any setting,
adjustments, or changing bits.
When routing, always feed against the rotation of the
cutter. Feed workpiece in the direction of arrow in
fig. W.2.
For maximum accuracy, one edge of your workpiece
(edge sliding against the fence) must be true and
straight.
Set up your fence as follows:
1.

fig. W.1

Raise Safety Dust Guard and rest it against the
extraction point.

Position the fence behind the router bit for the
desired cutting depth (the distance of cut from the
edge of the workpiece, as shown in fig. W.1).

Securely tighten Back Fence Fixing Bolts and
lower the guard over the cutter.

Make the cut by sliding the straight edge of
workpiece against the fence. Use a Pushstick as
shown in fig. W.2. (For each successive cut, the
fence would need to be re-adjusted).

pushstick

Using Mitre Fence

Your Mitre Fence will be required to give extra support
for routing small workpieces or ends of large workpieces.
See fig. X.
NOTE:
For all routing operations requiring use of the Mitre
Fence along with the fence, be sure to align fence with
mitre bar slot before making any cuts.

It is advisable to fit a waste piece of material to the Mitre
Fence or behind the component to prevent breakout of
the wood grain.
If using Mitre Fence to trim the end off a piece of material, the Workpiece Support can be brought forward with
the cutter to support the material after the cut, see fig. X.

Using The Profiling Top Guard

b. Gradually swing workpiece towards cutter until
template engages the guide bearing.

Example

c. Feed workpiece against the rotation of the cutter
whilst swinging the workpiece away from the
Lead-On Pin. At this point the guided bearing is
acting as the guide. Progressively feed the
workpiece anti-clockwise around the shape of
the template ensuring that the guide bearing
always stays in contact with the template.

A typical application using the Profiling Top Guard is in
the routing of shields from MDF Board (Medium Density
Fibreboard) as follows:

d. When the complete edge of the workpiece has
been machined, slide the workpiece away from
the cutter.

If you are unfamiliar with the above procedure then
the technique should be practised before switching on
the router.

Design of shield

Producing a Shield
1.

Construct an actual size template of the shield
design from 6mm MDF, hardwood or plywood
ensuring that it is accurate and free from imperfections. Remember the finished product will only be
as good as the template.

Special Notes
1.

Always keep the workpiece moving in a precise
steady movement to prevent the material from
burning.

Never let go of the workpiece. Always keep an even
pressure of the workpiece against the bearing. Do
not use too much pressure.

If you wish to stop routing halfway through the
operation. Simply slide the workpiece away from
the cutter before switching off the router.

If the template inadvertently comes away from the
bearing and so does not emulate the template, do
not stop. Complete the operation and repeat the
procedure for the edge concerned.

Fix the template to the back of the workpiece to be
used using screws or double sided tape.

Rough cut the workpiece to the shape of the
template using a band saw or jigsaw leaving 2-3mm
oversize.

Remove the Back Fence assembly from the table.

Fit the Lead-on Pin as described in section K.

It is advisable to repeat the operation in order to
improve the finish of the workpiece.

Fit the fine height adjuster if one is available for
your router. This will allow the height of the cutter to
be adjusted accurately.

Keeps hands away from the cutter, even if the
guard is fitted, in order to give a good safety
margin.

Fit a self-guided trimmer cutter.

Lay the workpiece (with template fitted) face down
on the table surface. Adjust the height of the cutter
using the plunge and lock mechanism on the router
or use the fine height adjuster (if fitted). Ensure
that the bearing will contact the template and the
cutting edge of the cutter will machine the full edge
of the workpiece. See fig. Y.1.

Lock-off plunge mechanism of router to ensure that
the plunge mechanism will not inadvertently move
during routing.

10.

Fit the Profiling Top Guard as described in
Section T and adjust height to give a 6-12mm gap
between the top of cutter and underside of template.

11.

Switch router on and allow to reach full running
speed.

Minimal finishing should be required before the next
operation. If natural woods are used, consideration
should be given to breakout of short grain which will
effect your decision as to where to start the routing
operation in order to prevent it.

a. Position the workpiece against the Lead-On Pin
as shown in fig. Y.3. The Workpiece should not
contact the cutter.

-24-

Router Table for the Craftsman
Moulding the Shield

The following precautions should be made to avoid a
potentially dangerous situation:

A suitable bearing guided cutter should be chosen to
mould the shield.
1.

Remove plug from mains.

Fit chosen moulding cutter.

Adjust height of cutter to achieve shape required.
If the full edge of the workpiece is to be machined
leave the template attached to the workpiece so as
to provide a guide for the bearing. Otherwise the
template can be removed, providing there is
sufficient edge for the bearing to follow. See fig Y.2.

Repeat the same routing procedure as before. If the
profile required involves excessive removal of
material, it is advisable to take two passes with the
cutter. First reduce the height of the cutter protruding from the table, this in effect, reduces the
amount of material which will be removed, or fit a
larger bearing, if one is available for that particular
cutter.
The second pass can then be made to give the
required finish.

Carrying out this two stage routing operation has many
advantages.
a. Improved finish on workpiece
b. Less load on cutter and router
c. Far less risk of workpiece snatching

This can be described as the cutter catching the
workpiece and projecting it away from the direction of
rotation. The workpiece is often taken from the operator's
hands and projected across the work area. It can have
potentially dangerous consequences if the cutter is
unguarded and/or the operator's hands are too close to
the cutter. Damage to the cutter can also be caused.

Workpiece
position 2

Fit the Profiling Top Guard, this will prevent
fingers contacting the cutter.

Always rout in the direction which opposes the
direction of rotation of the cutter. Routing with the
direction of the cutter is called back-cutting and will
cause snatching.

Use the Lead-On Pin to provide support for the
workpiece during the initial start of the routing
operation, it will also ensure that you approach the
cutter from the correct side.

When a deep cut is required or the material is
particularly dense, then take two or three passes.

Ensure the cutter always has a sharp cutting edge.

Do not reduce pressure of the workpiece or let go
of it. Always keep both hands on the workpiece and
keep an even pressure against the guide bearing.

Do not use too great a feed speed. If the revolutions of the router drop, it is a good indication that
either too deep a pass is being made and/or the
cutter is blunt. Therefore reduce the depth of cut
and/or resharpen your cutter.

If the above points are followed, profile routing using
bearing guided cutters is both safe and rewarding. It is
however advisable for those new to routing to avoid using
larger diameter cutters until proficient with the technique
described. Under no circumstances should this type of
operation be carried out with cutters not having a guide
ball bearing or pin.

End Cutting with the Tenon Push Block

Typical width of tenon is 1/3 of
thickness of material

The Push Block facility is ideal for producing tenons and
sliding dovetails.

Shoulder

The retractable dust guard cannot be used when carrying
our push block operations. Therefore extra care must be
taken to ensure that hands are kept well clear of the
cutter.

Face Side
Face Edge

Ensure that the workpiece is true and the end is square
and smooth.
1.

Mount push block assembly on the Back Fence,
see section L.

Fit the correct insert ring into the the insert plate to
suit the diameter of the cutter being used, see
section J.

Adjust the height and depth of the cutter to suit the
cut required.

Position workpiece between Clamp Plate and
Push Block so that it's side is flush against the
face of the Back Fence, the end to be cut is resting
on the edge of the insert plate hole and edge
marked with lines 'A' and 'B' is facing the router
cutter. Clamp workpiece in this position by
tightening the Wing Nut on the Clamp Rod while
making sure that Clamp Plate stays orientated on
workpiece. See fig.Z.2.

Slide Push Block and workpiece back to the
position as shown in fig.Z.3. When routing, always
feed against the rotation of the cutter. Feed
workpiece in the direction shown by the arrow.

Switch router on. While holding Push Block and
guidig workpiece against fence with both hands and
fingers at a safe distance from cutter (fig.Z.3).

Turn router off, unclamp workpiece and slide Push
Block back to original position.

Position and clamp the opposite side of workpiece
(make sure the wing nut is tight just enough to
clamp workpiece in position and end to be cut is
resting on the edge of insert plate hole). Repeat
step 6 and 7.

To cut ends of tenon, position and clamp workpiece
so that the edge of the workpiece is held flush
against the face of the fence and end to be cut
should be resting on edge of insert plate hole. See
fig.Z.4. Repeat steps 6 and 7.
